"Pfizer, the drug company that produces the EpiPen, announced last week with Health Canada that there was limited inventory of both the adult 0.30-mg device and the children’s 0.15-mg epinephrine auto-injectors, and availability of the medications was being “managed nationally.”

The notice marked the sixth time since the beginning of 2017 that there’s been a shortfall in supply of EpiPens – the only emergency medication for anaphylaxis on the Canadian market."

I wonder why an EpiPen shortage would exist? I'd think that Pfizer would insure that the supply would keep-up with the demand."Insufficient quantities of a component that is part of the auto-injector device" seems to spell out poor management on the part of the manufacturer.


None you improvise, one (or more) is luxury.
